Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: The study includes all patients undergoing elective unilateral PCNL surgery, aged between 18 - 65 years with BMI 25 - 35 kg/m2 and agreed to participate in research.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: The study excludes those patients who have failed to comprehend visual analogue scale, have contraindications to interventional procedure (ESP block), history of local anaesthetic allergy, cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological or metabolic diseases, severe coagulopathy, history of chronic analgesic use, failure of procedures (ESP block), serum creatinine more than 2mg/dl, patients on dialysis or in sepsis and patients having pre-existing nephrostomy tube.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
o compare the duration of analgesia (defined as the interval between the onset of sensory block, and the initial use of rescue analgesia for surgical site pain)Timepoint: Till 24 hours after the surgery

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the efficacy of Dexamethasone as an adjuvant to 0.5 % Ropivacaine to plain Ropivacaine in terms of maximum visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score and consumption of rescue analgesia, Reduction in opioid related side effects such as nausea, vomiting, sedation. Comparison of intra operative hemodynamics between the two groups. Comparison of readiness for discharge from PACU in the two groups using fasttrack score and Comparison of time to achieve fast-track score of 12 between two groups.Timepoint: During puncture and after surgery
